31 Beautiful Art Nouveau Designs by Alphonse Maria Mucha printed on one side of perforated paper

This is a book of gorgeous designs by Alphonse Mucha which have been rendered into coloring book form by Ed Sibbett, Jr. The book includes many of my most favorite Mucha designs and it will be a real joy to color them.

While this is the first time Creative Haven has published this work in their colorist friendly format, Dover has previously published this book as Art Nouveau Figurative Designs which is now out of print. That book contained six additional designs which are not include in this book. As the standard format for Creative Haven is 31 designs, that may be why there are less.

I purchased this book and the one by Pomegranate at the same time. While they share some of the basic designs, the rendering is quite different. Also, Creative Haven has 31 designs while Pomegranate has 22. I like each for different reasons and will be really happy to be able to color the designs of one of my favorite artists.

All of my gel pens and markers bleed through on Creative Haven books to varying degrees. I use chip board, cardstock, or even freezer paper in between the sheets (if I am keeping it in the book) or under the page if I remove it from the book.

There are 31 designs in this coloring book which are printed on bright white perforated paper that is a fairly heavy stock. The designs are printed on one side of the page only and the binding is glued rather than sewn. I usually like to remove my projects from the books to work on and I love that Creative Haven always makes it easy for me to do so.
